    I'm new to train sim classic so bare with me please.
    This is the mod I would like to install

    [https://rail-sim.de/forum/filebase/...um/filebase/entry/3899-tgv-thalys-pack-v7-1/)

    I've tried to follow the instructions to the best of my ability but I've found it pretty vague to follow. This is my second time trying to downloading a mod so let me know if there is any tip I should know.

    So far I've extracted the ap and rwp files and dragged the assets files from the rwp into the railworks folder. I can see the files for the repaints have organised themselves into each folder for each train and I can see a list to select the repaint in game but when I try to load the train, it is invisible. Now i can't even load the route, and if i do, its just all white.

    I am unsure of what to do. Apparently I am meant to see and install a bat file but I cannot find it anywhere. I don't know what to do anymore so any advice and anything that I should know that will help me will be much appreciated

    Instructions

    'FOR [RAILSIM.DE](https://RAILSIM.DE) \-> USE THIS LINK FOR FUTURE UPDATES :

    Hi there, thanks for downloading my Thalys/TGV Pack. For this pack you'll need the following requirements :

    [https://store.steampowered.com/app/...hnstrecke_Strasbourg__Karlsruhe_Route_AddOn/) (Needed for Thalys PBKA)

    [https://store.steampowered.com/app/...imulator_LGV_Marseille__Avignon_Route_AddOn/) (Needed for Duplex and POS repaints)

    \---- INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ENGLISH ----

    To install this pack correctly you'll need to delete the older versions and then unpack the following AP files Mentioned in the readme

    \-------- 1st Step --------

    Remove older versions to avoid errors.

    \-------- 2nd Step --------

    \- TGVReseauPack01Assets.ap which will be found in the following path : DTG\\TGVReseauPack01 (Extract here)

    \- LGVMedSouthAssets.ap wil be found in the following path : DTG\\LGVMedSouth (Extract here)

    \- KarlsruheStrasbourgAssets.ap wil be found in the following path : DTG\\KarlsruheStrasbourg (Extract here)

    \-------- 3rd Step --------

    Now you're able to open the .rwp file manually via 7zip/Winrar and put the Assets folder in your railworks folder.

    \-------- 4th Step --------

    Now install the .BAT installer named "TGV\_Thalys Pack Installer.BAT" which can be found here : RailWorks\\Assets

    It sounds as though you have missed the step of running the bat file which should have been placed in your assets folder when you copied everything over, you should be able to see it somewhere beneath your various assets folders in your main assets folder named as in your post above, once you have found it double-click on it to run the file ( you only need to do this one time after first installing the mod ), it will run and then as long as you have carefully followed all previous steps then hopefully all will be ok.

    Just to add that I have not installed this mod myself but this is how the bat files usually work.

    I would not bother with these repaints at the moment.

    I had them installed but the new update from DTG for the TGV Reseau has broken a lot of them

    I think that must be the case. I have managed to install the reskins but the game keeps crashing whenever I try to load a scenario and if it does manage to load, the train is invisible.

    It stopped the reskins working.
    No idea what else DTG changed in the process
